the OTA via the device is not live yet, he is downloading the OTA manually off google developer pages and installing it manually.

Oh ok. I forgot about it.
This kind of thing makes me miss Apple.
I hope they release the ota fast.

DP4 OTA went live just a few hours after images were posted, perhaps this one will be the same.

Huh, I was expecting it the first Monday of August. Whatever. Downloading now.

Better early than late!

Rebooting now from manual install. Woot!

Just finished the update, booted to twrp, installed twrp, unlocked data with pattern, installed twrp and magisk 16.7 now when booting it wont accept my pattern and now rebooting into the installed twrp the touch screen doesnt work.
Rebooted, now the pattern works, ill check twrp again.
TWRP now working, that was weird.

Possible to update via OTA sideload if rooted?

You should be fine. You could even flash the OTA in twrp if you wanted. Either way, you'll lose twrp and root anyways. But no big deal to install them again :good:

Question?... I originally installed an earlier developer/beta version of Andriod P on my Pixel 2 XL however I had issues pairing my S3 gear watch with my phone while on Android P. It seemed that with the correct original plugins that my samsung gear S3 watch would continue to pair but the Samsung gear App would just force close upon trying to open it. I had erased the plugins and had to get off Android P back to 8.1 to reinstall the plugins at which time I opted to just stay on 8.1.
So my question is has anyone had any luck using the Samsung gear watch App in DP5, and/or have you had any pairing issues??? Wondering has anyone encountered this?

I'm on verizion ,but I took out sim card on DP4 did factory reset set phone up then insert card so I don't get the bloat when it was released.I just received the OTA to DP5 about an hour ago.

Any changes in this last release?

I'm a little disappointed with Android p. I feel like it's half baked. Gestures aren't the most intuitive, dark theming is pointless. Not sure why the the settings and the rest of the UI isn't dark. Animations need more work. And the bad news, is this what the final version will look like.

NFC working in this preview build?

I've been on Phone since DP2. Zero problems with my gear. Just do not do a clean flash to P or a factory reset on P. I did the latter in O then took the DP2 OTA.

Good job ASUS for the continuous after sales support. ?
with this update how is your camera? mine is improved a little, imho...
Nice list of fixes but I don't like what they did to the signal icons. They made them bigger and took out the color code. I'm not a big camera user so I haven't noticed a difference there.

Sound output volume and clarity is MUCH improved through the headset in this update! Much needed and appreciated. Speaker output is still somewhat low but it was slightly improved.
for those who want to know, root survived ota without updating binaries.

hello..what do u mean root survived ota without updating binaries?
im on ww 2.15.40.13_w_root currently..does this mean i can apply the ota and still keep rooted after it was updated?
Got the update on mine earlier, but Android OS is still causing the mysterious battery drain. I hope the next update will fix it.

have you updated supersu binaries? if you did then you have to fully unroot to apply ota. if you didn't update the binaries, you can apply the ota and still have root.

That sucks, I updated the supersu binaries so I won't be able to apply the ota.
Somebody please pre-root the updated ota so I can fastboot flash it Hahahaha.
Thanks for this.
I'll wait until a bigger update I guess.
Another thing i mentioned, is that for me my Score in Antutu got a little bit better ~ 1000Points.
How strange. I got the OTA update notification, so removed root in order to take this update ( because low volume on headphones is the biggest flaw of the phone for me). However, the update failed. I assumed this was because of having done a lot of debloating. So I have reflashed boot, fastboot, recovery and the pre-rooted system, but when I check for the update again... Nothing??

By debloating, d'you mean uninstalling bloatware? This is why I prefer to disable those with TiBU instead. So you can still take updates!

Okay thanks. I too am hoping this update will fix the bluetooth connectivity issues. I read somewhere that Google has been working on a fix.
Droid Life believes this will include BT fixes.
Which would be great as I felt like throwing my phone out the window as I never connected to my BT speaker at home yesterday.

Does updating to this impact Adhell2 installs? Will it re-enable all of the bloat that I've disabled already?
I installed this update this morning and I received "Android. System. UI has stopped working" every time my phone tried to boot.
I thought that Substratum StatusBar Icons for Samsung was causing the issue. I was able to boot into safe mode one time and uninstalled Substratum StatusBar Icons, thinking that this would fix my boot issue. My issue was not fixed and I was not able to boot into Safe Mode again without receiving the "Android. System. UI has stopped working" error every time.
I installed Samsung Galaxy S8+US Unlocked Firmware XAA Version Live!!! (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s8+/how-to/galaxy-s8-xaa-version-live-t3613013) so that i can get my phone working again.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on re-installing the updated T-Mo firmware?

In case anyone was wondering, I just decided to test it myself. Before applying the update I re-enabled all of the packages because I read elsewhere that people had an issue if certain Samsung system apps were disabled. I did not uninstall AdHell2, just re-enabled all of the packages. The update went by without any problems and I then disabled all of the packages I want removed from the running system after the update.
The only thing I had to do to get back to my same modified config was re-run the ADB commands to restore the mobile data toggle.

I was able to update using HiSuite - running EMUI 8.0 now. The phone updater did not show any updates, but my IMEI was always a few weeks behind in getting updates.
updating now.,
Make sure the device has more than 2.5gb free
Of course it was finally released. I'm supposed to have my new Oneplus 6T delivered today. LOL! I have to say though that I did enjoy my time with my Honor 8. I'd still be using it for a while if the battery hadn't recently gone to crap.

Hello all. Just wondering if there was anyone else still waiting on the Android 8 update? It's April 2019 and I still haven't received it yet. I even tried connecting my phone to my computer through Hi Suite, and it tells me I'm running the latest update. I'm still on Android 7 with EMUI 5. Not sure what's going on. I'd love to get the update though. Any suggestions?
Calm down, this is beautiful for FRD-L04 users, but unfortunately you will receive just B562 update after oreo, then it's the end. End of software support i mean. Honor is making strange things, continuosly update security patches on nougat while forgetting about oreo...as FRD-L09 user (running Oreo since it was officially launched a lot of time ago) i can assure that i've not received any other ota update after oreo and i should manually update even to B562

Same boat here. Been using my device stock from day one and finally got an itch to look into any update past Android 7. Found this thread so I installed Hisuite. Sure don't care what-so-ever for their EULA in their app. It's no wonder folks worry about the security of Huawei devices when you have to give up so much just to get a software update. Anyway I states I too have the latest available updates. For such a great phone hardware wise it feels like a shame how little updates it really got during it's life. Ah, well it still is functionally fine for now so I'll carry on as is.
Does anyone know how I can go to EMUI 8?
I've tried OTA, HiSuite, and Firmware flasher. None of these methods work. Firmware flasher, however does find the EMUI 8.0 upgrade, but even if I proxy the download, it won't show up in OTA update. If I download, it won't flash. Any ideas?
